lol: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/2569128/Swedish-wrestler-Ara-Abrahamian-disqualified-after-throwing-away-his-medal.html

Swedish wrestler threw away his bronze medal in disgust at only coming third. The IOC stepped in, and DQd him, giving the medal to the 4th ranked contender.

nah, they didn't reaward the medal to anybody.

"However, the IOC was clearly less than impressed by his theatrics and disqualified him though it decided against awarding the medal to France's Francais Melonin Noumonvi who had lost to the Swede in the bronze medal match. "

100m final soon?

 

[Rafy]

World Record! 9.69s

 

[stazi]

holy fuck. wow. how on earth did he manage a WR considering he started playing with everyone else. i cant believe it. that was incredible

 

[Rafy]

haha @ his last ~20m.
he could have gone even faster

 

[stazi]

Yeah, that is incredible. He prob didn't want to go all out: then he wouldn't have any more records to break seriously, he could prob go .60. I just don't see how anyone else in history will be able to beat him...unless they also use performance-enhacing drugs.

He's running the 200m right?

 

[goony]

Yeah he's in the 200 as well. We could be saying goodbye to another WR.

 

[Zrap]

Finally the fellas are putting in for the gold medal.

 

[Silver Persian]

Yeah he's in the 200 as well. We could be saying goodbye to another WR.

That Michael Johnson WR is pretty amazing in the 200m...if Bolt gets it he's just orsumly crazily good

lol asafa is the biggest choker - the greg norman of 100m sprinting

and yay for sailers.

 

[Silver Persian]

Britain equal with us on gold medal count now

 

[Zrap]

Hopefully Hackett gets one soon, starts in 15mins woot

 

[Rafy]

Silver for Hackett

 

[karoooh]

Fuck Mellouli's a machine.

 

[Zrap]

His on drugs,
Hackett could barely breathe and the tunisian guy was fine and looked like he could race again.
DRUGS!
